Résumé
The quantum cohomology ring of a flag variety encodes the Gromov-Witten invariants that count curves meeting Schubert varieties in general position. When infinitely many such curves exist, the arithmetic genus of the corresponding family of curves is called a K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariant. The quantum K-theory ring of
Givental is a generalization of the quantum cohomology ring that encodes the K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants. While little is known about the quantum K-theory of general flag varieties, the (small) quantum K-theory of cominuscule flag varieties has been studied in a series of papers with Chaput, Mihalcea, and Perrin. I will speak about geometric and combinatorial aspects of this work.
